The Cowpastures, Just like an English landscapeIan Willis
The early colonial European settlers in the Cowpastures were the key players in the story of creating
an English-style landscape along the Nepean River. The settlers took possession of the countryside
from the Dharawal Aboriginal people and re-made it in their own vision of the world. They
constructed a cultural landscape made up of an idealised vision of what they had left behind in the
‘Old Country’. For the European settlers the new continent, and particularly the bush, had the
elements of the Gothic with its grotesque and the demonic, and the English-style landscape
aesthetic they created was one attempt to counter these forces. Settlers used the aesthetic to assist
the creation of a new story on an apparently blank slate and in the process dispossessed and
displaced the Indigenous occupants. The new landscape was characterised by English placenames,
English farming methods and English settlement patterns, with only cursory acknowledgement of
Indigenous occupation. The early settlers had such a profound impact on the countryside that their
legacy is still clearly identifiable today even after 200 years.

Libraries for literacy: technology as a tool for engagementJane Cowell
The document discusses programs and partnerships to engage 9-16 year olds in libraries through technology. It highlights Scratch, a programming platform, as an effective digital engagement tool. Major findings from consultations with 9-16 year olds are presented, including interests in makerspaces, technology, drama, writing and filmmaking. Effective workshop elements are explored, such as having a clear concept and audience. Tips for using Scratch to create animations and control characters are provided. The importance of narrative structure in stories is emphasized.
The document discusses the future of public libraries. It notes that libraries need to move away from being focused on driving activity internally and move towards intentional partnerships with other organizations in the community to make a difference. Key trends include more connectivity through mobile technology and an empowered customer who wants to both learn and create. The document argues that libraries must orient themselves outward by listening to the community, collaborating with partners, and allowing community input so libraries can transition from solely providing information to enabling creation, learning and innovation.
